I am Thanchvil* Cilnei, an Etruscan noblewoman from the ancient city of Caere, well known and famous for its blueveiled merchant vessels and its fierce seafarers. In Rome, I serve the goddess Menerva (called "Minerva" by the Romans) as her first priestess. My husband, Quintus Sergius, is a citizen of Rome. Therefore, I live in the eternal city and latinized my first name into Tanaquil and took on my husband's family name. But my Domus is full of Etruscan splendor! Sit down and relax in the atrium or triclinium, enjoy the excellent food from Etruria and the splendid Picenum wine my servants will serve to you...It will be a pleasure to have you here! * Thanchvil: pronounce as: “ThankXwiel” (for English people: "ThankXweel") Join the Roman Family Names Project!
